THE NITTY GRITTY

HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Purple belt!

Micah earned his purple belt at karate! He's supremely stoked and was so pleased with himself last night when he received his new belt. It was the first official promotion ceremony that he's participated in (prior to this, given his age group, he received his new belts during class)...and his good mood carried him through the rest of the night (along with a little dance he made up about being a purple belt, lol).

We're so proud of his dedication to karate and glad that he sincerely has fun at it. ;) And it's so cool to see just how far he's come since his very first day, three years ago:

Awwwwww. ;)
